I love a good slow burn romance, a twisty mystery, and a nerve prickly horror. My favorite trope is probably opposite attracts, whether it be lovers, friendship, or just family dynamics. Some good yin and yang β―οΈ is necessary for tension in all sorts of relationships! #writesky
Had the most vivid dream where I had a run in with three ginormous caged tigersβ¦apparently it means I had suppressed fear or anxiety toward something, and that eventually that thing will resolve and I need to relax and let it take its courseβ¦gee, I wonder what Iβm afraid ofβ¦ #dream #writingcommunity
Yay!!!!ππππ good work!!!! Congrats!!!
Sometimes you just have to trust the Big Magic and write like no one is watching. The result might give you a pleasant surprise when you go back to edit your pages. Chapters later, you might forget you were supposed to be marking on those pages. #writingcommunity #amediting #writesky
βI write to give myself strength. I write to be the characters that I am not. I write to explore all the things I'm afraid of.β β Joss Whedon

Just took my preteen daughter shopping for clothes todayβ¦ Boy, did I identify as my dadβ¦I wanted to sit on every bench and went to the bathroom every time we saw the sign, then ate a double cheeseburger with no cheese. #momlife

I used to think I write the best at night when my judgy filter is off, and edit the best during the day when my brain is more coherent. But lately Iβve been going with the flow, and itβs actually better! I feel more freedom and less obligated to glue my butt to the chair at night
Haha Iβm so happy to hear that! We all need to have some fun with life, even if it means gaslighting your kid π
Hahahaha mamaβs gotta have her fun π
Daughter brought up blood moon, and I tricked my son into believing we have werewolf gene and might turn into werewolves that night. Now he doesnβt want to wear his favorite pjs because heβs afraid heβd rip them when he transformsβ¦when do I tell him Iβm just kidding? #momlife
Tip of the day, do not panic at the sheer amount of the word βjustβ you used in your manuscript when you have a protagonist named βJustinβ π ctrl + F gave me a good adrenaline rush to start off the day! #writingcommunity #amediting
Perhaps the most important wisdom I learned today or in this lifetime:
This too shall pass.

I do one search on Google about ballet dancer work outs (writing a short story on it), and now my social media feed is filled with Pilates workout apps ποΈ lol, do they realize Iβm not a dancer? #writer #writingcommunity

"Be brave! You get to enjoy the world first!" might be my fav line in my current WIP.
I finished drafting this week, learned about a new genre, critiqued some wonderful books, and started outlining my new idea. Here's to another productive month in March! #writesky
In hardships and chaotic times, as much division as there is, it's almost easier to find your people in a way, to see who really cares and who is really caring.
I don't know about anyone else, but that's the silver lining I've been clinging to.
Funny how writing contemporary romance feels like I'm writing fantasy, because the contemporary world we live in feels like a dystopian chaos. #writerillusion #dystopianreality #romanceisfantasy

Book club is a big one! It gets me out of my comfort zone and surprises me every time. Friend recommendations and Goodreads emails are great resources too! #books #readsky #reader
This book is a hilarious, genre-blending, wholesome love story that kept me on the edge of my seat. It's a reminder of why I enjoy YA stories so muchβmessy, energetic, and hopeful, in the most wonderful way. #booksky #bookreview #yaromance #readsky #EmikoJean #books

On the first day of new year, I managed to burn my finger from my kettle, forgot the ice cream I bought from the store in the trunk, and watched my husband drove off with it in 50 degree spring weather. Can I get a reboot of this new year? #icanteven #lunarnewyear
Yay! πβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ really enjoying your story!!!!
nice! Yeah, i feel like the more you know the characters, the better certain names fit (or don't fit). I definitely changed one of my character names after draft 1 was completed!
